Nichols can be heard yelling for his mother throughout the beating.<\/p>\n<p>Five officers involved in Nichols\u2019 death, all of whom are Black, were fired from the Memphis police department last week and charged on Thursday with second-degree murder and other crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA dangerous culture of violence has permeated far too many police departments in this country. Time and time again, it is lethal,\u201d Rep.

We must change the culture that perpetuates these tragedies and bring those accountable to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), the head of the caucus\u2019s Policing, Constitution, and Equality Task Force, said the \u201cvicious murder\u201d of Nichols has left them \u201cshaken to the core.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe utter lack of humanity on display in the video defies even the worst expectations,\u201d they said in a statement. \u201cAs mothers, seeing Tyre call out for his mother is deeply painful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cPeople are rightfully furious by what we\u2019ve seen,\u201d Jayapal and Coleman added. \u201cThat anger is justified, and must be directed toward demanding accountability and reform of law enforcement and the criminal legal system, including an end to the police culture of use of force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many other lawmakers similarly responded to the footage with horror and a version of the refrain \u201cTyre Nichols should be alive today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTyre Nichols should be alive today,\u201d Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said in a statement. \u201cMy heart aches for his family, friends, and loved ones, who are dealing with an unimaginable loss. His death is a grave injustice. Those responsible must be held accountable, and we can\u2019t stop there.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYou do not need to see the video to know that Tyre Nichols should be alive today,\u201d Rep.

However, police accountability must be the rule, not the exception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many Democrats, including President Biden, called for the passage of police reform, particularly the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, in the wake of videos\u2019 release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
